Today’s lunch. Salt, sugar, carbs. I couldn’t eat it. A friend brought me some Peruvian blueberries and plain greek yogurt.
I realize I participated in food waste and ate out of season not local fruit.

On a new adventure. Had my left hip revision on Monday, a truly BIG DEAL. So I am here spending my first night in a skilled nursing facility.

My dear younger sister left this world yesterday evening. Her suffering is over and she is going back to stardust.

My dear younger sister is drifting away. It has been two weeks since her final dialysis treatment. Thanks to medication provided by her hospice team she is no longer in pain after years of suffering.
I am feeling sad tonight remembering her hard life. Thankful she exposed me to Whippets.

A sign of an aging brain can be forgetting the name of common items. I used to remember both common & latin names of my garden plants. Now I only remember a few.

My sister suffered throughout her life. Kind, funny, a reader, talented artist who truly saw animals. The past 4 years dialysis 3 times a week, in pain, at last spending all day snuggled in bed with her beloved Whippets. Last week she chose to enter hospice. Not much time left to say farewell.

Feeling sentimental and remembering Millie. My Japanese Chin rescued from hoarder/puppy mill at 13. She learned how to be a dog, barked after 2 years, lived to 17, so many health problems she was by far the most expensive dog I ever owned.

Frustrated bird watcher here. Despite my expensive new glasses, I do not see well enough to identify the many birds visiting the trees and sky outside my window. Are there binoculars for a nearsighted astigmatic? Please advise.

This is 100% merino yarn from a Virginia farm. Stitch definition also depends on how it is spun.

A gathering of my tiny Fitt family for my 80th birthday. Celebratory lunch at #Amuse at #VMFA It has been many years since we were all together and the only gift I requested.

Fell yesterday & broke my red frame glasses. My new blue glasses were ready today. A friend once advised me that interesting frames distract from wrinkles. My brothers kindly contributed to the expense.

I was worried about my SNAP benefit but they have been raised by a whole dollar from $23 to $24 due to increasing expenses. Not sure how I will spend my new riches.

A friend made this drawing of her. It was triple her actual size. When I got her, she had been recovering for 2 months and was still a mess. Completely shut down. We expected her to live a few months. Died at 17 after becoming a happy dog.

Adopted Millie at 13 after she was rescued. Took 2 years before she barked.
